Hey R people I need some assistance. I've been contemplating the ITR caliper, 4 lug integ knuckle, prelude vtec rotor "big brake" upgrade for my civic. this mod requires shaving of the caliper bracket due to the ITR's wider track measurements.

I've SEARCHED, and I have found results, BUT, i have found mixed results on msn carpoint specifications pages, type R specific web pages, etc etc.
Ive seen 58.3 and 58.1 and there respective MM converted numbers as well. i believe the normal civics/integras have a 58.1 track width.

On a archived hybrids.jp articleabout this upgrade, they mention that the Type R has a 5mm wider track (which I have calculated based on MOST of my finding) but on the same site another article/source mentions that the track is actually 10mm wider (than normal civic/integs)

My question is, do any of you fellas have the EXACT front track width specs on your R's, and have the front track specs of a non R integra/civic for comparison?

thanks in advance, like i said..I have searched but have gotten mixed results so I wanna hear from actual owners who would know this. . I'd like to put the issue to rest once and for all for civic owners such as myself.

 

yes we would both like to know, because he will soon be stealing my stock calipers

 

From the 1998 Integra Helms manual:

Front track width

All except Type R = 1,475mm (58.1in)
Type R = 1,480mm (58.3in)

edit-forgot to put in the units of measure

thank you sir..much appreciated

i guess i should trust the helms. lol.

 

track doesnt have much to do with this. its primarily the offset of the disc.

 

What is rear track? It's probably in the helms huh...

True. The hub, rotor, and caliper bracket will determine the proper fitment for the caliper/rotor combo.

The actual track (which shouldn't effect the above) is a function of a number of different components: knuckle, hub, upper control arm, lower control arm....

Now on an ITR I'm not exactly sure which components are contributing to the increased track. If I had to guess it is the hub assembly.... I'm about to do a complete Civic/ITR suspension swap. I'll do everyone a favor a measure all of the components during the process.

Ausmith - who is going to pick up the replacement for 98-55 on Friday

 

wow this one got dug up. lol. Thanks anyways guys. its always good to know.

 

Can somebody answer my question... waht is ITR rear track? My supp. is buried under like 500 pounds of ****..
